TT does scope out talent from the community. A lot of the current members came to us by that method. Unfortunately a lot of these people get access to our internal files and then become inactive. We started having new talent on "trial" but a lot of the time these people vanish or don't have the time to contribute really anything.

I'm sure there are people out there that are able to and can help, that is why I suggest that they contact the team with a portfolio of their work. Of course if we are not familiar with the person, we may put them on trial for a while etc.

About the spam bots, I've been looking into several mods. The open proxy one seems like the best bet but there is an error with it and the newer version (I think thats why tc.com had that proxy error msg for so long). I'm hoping to add something soon, but I was backtracked because of the site.
